Happy Holidays everyone!
With the coming festivities it can be hard to celebrate to your full potential with the rest of the crew, especially when you’re on a diet. Many popular alcoholic beverages are high in sugar and carbs which make it difficult to stay on track with your diets. The trick to drinking “healthily” is by avoiding concentrated juices, mixers, sugary sodas, and stick to drinking “clear” beer, liquor, or white wines. The thing to keep in mind is drinking fresh ingredients. They have less additives and are more likely to be of “sipping” quality. It’s also always important to keep hydrated when drinking!
